Tax Credit Financing (SR&ED, FTC, OIDMTC, etc.)

Financing refundable tax credits* gives you funds for money you have already spent, months before the government pays you.

 

Post-File Tax Financing

Acorn Partners can give you funds against the anticipated value of your refundable tax claim so you can use the money for your business operations today.

By having those funds available immediately, rather than in the future, you can focus on using your money to grow your business today and not tomorrow.

 

Pre-Filed SR&ED Claim Financing

 

Acorn is exclusive in its ability to give companies money prior to filing their SR&ED claim. Companies who have a history of successfully filing claims in previous years can receive funds against their R&D expenses on a quarterly or semi-annual basis, months before they finalize and file their claim.

We will also consider financing a company’s first-time claim on a pre-filed basis.

Other Tax Refunds

 

If you have other refundable tax credits, contact us to see if your tax refund is eligible for pre-payment by Acorn, rather than waiting until the government settles with you. (Minimum refundable tax credits for “Other” taxes may apply, e.g., GST, must be over $25,000 for us to consider financing these claims.)

Accounts Receivable Financing

Accounts Receivable Financing gives you immediate cash against invoices you have sent your clients without waiting for the 30, 60 or 90 days it may normally take to receive payment from customers.

As part of the added-value service, Acorn Partners will manage your receivables, performing credit checks on your clients, managing delinquency and insuring your invoices and accounts against bad debt losses freeing up your staff to address other financial or administrative issues.

As a selling edge, you could extend credit terms to clients beyond what your competitors are giving them while enjoying the profits your sales the day you invoice your clients.

By giving you cash the day you invoice your client, you can use those funds to grow your business today without waiting for your client to mail payment to you a month or two later.

Find out how Acorn’s Receivable Financing solutions can help you focus on your business and not on your client’s payment habits.

International Trade Finance

Acorn Partners can give your company funds for your imports or exports when you do not have the available funds in your bank account to fulfill the order with your supplier or customer.

A Canadian company importing raw materials or finished goods for sale to domestic companies under a contract or purchase order, can obtain the funds needed to pay their international supplier or manufacturer.

A Canadian company exporting its products can obtain funds against their export-insured sale today. Companies must have EDC or similar export insurance in place before we will consider financing.

Angel Funding (another form of equity)

Acorn Partners can structure an Angel Funding solution under specific criteria.

In order for a company to be considered eligible for Acorn’s Angel funding solution we must initially provide you with working capital using one or more of our other products.

Acorn’s Angel Funding is different and provides your company with funds through angels expecting a return based on a royalty revenue model rather than the traditional equity model.

In order to be considered, your company must meet the following, minimal requirements:

1. Able to support the established minimum internal rate of return (IRR)

2. Management must be fully qualified in their roles

3. Well-prepared presentation and business plan (with realistic cash flow)

If your company meets all of the above qualifications and you are interested in seeing how Acorn can assist you with this solution, click here.

 

Life Settlements
